I find the turkeys like the fresh seeds and the chickens like the guts and meat. But everyone likes the meat.

Here's the pumpkin roll I made yesterday. This is a good one, might be nice for a holiday dinner.

Pumpkin Roll
Cake:
1 Cup cake flour, sifted
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I make my own with 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
5 large eggs
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 Cup canned pumpkin puree
Confectioners' sugar
Frosting:
8 Tab unsalted butter, softened
2 Cups confectioners' sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cake:
1. Heat oven to 350*. Spray an 18"x13" rimmed baking sheet with no-stick, line with parchment paper & spray the paper also
2. Whisk flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt together; set aside.
3. In mixer bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow and thick, 6-10 minutes. Add pumpkin, mix on low speed until incorporated. Fold in flour mixture until combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared sheet.
4. Bake until cake is firm and springs back with touched, about 15 minutes. While cake is warm, run knife around edges to loosen from the sheet. Dust with confectioners sugar and turn out onto a large, clean kitchen towel. Carefully peel off parchment attached to cake and discard. Starting from 1 long side of cake, roll cake along with the towel into a log and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
5. Gently unroll cake and spread with frosting, leaving 1" border around the edges. Reroll cake snugly, leaving towel behind. Wrap cake firmly in parchment and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Remove plastic, dust with confectioners' sugar.

Frosting:
1. Using mixer set at medium-high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add cream cheese, 1 piece at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well.

Hope these pictures help show how this comes together:

P.S. These 2 pieces were cut off the ends...the parts from the center show the roll better.

Looks yummy Debby!

I would like it a lot better than pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin is my favorite...when I make it.

Ron and Bob...Today a message came on my computer to update and I will NEVER click something like this again. I clicked and I lost my Google Chrome and got Bing as my default browser. I worked and worked and finally got Bing off and got my Google Chrome back. But....now my up and down arrows are off again. Remember, this happened sometime before and I asked for HELP. And you told me to resize the page and move the curser to end of page. I tried this....and it does not work.
my bottom arrow on the right side is almost off the page. Now
can you HELP. Aria
